VERY disappointed

Don’t even waste your time playing here if you consider yourself a golfer…

I’ll start with the good.
The staff was super nice and helpful, starter laced us up on the course and the trouble spots.
The greens are in pretty good shape.

With the being said, it look like they put the over pieces green fees into ONLY the greens.
They roll nice and are consistent over all.
Everything else on the course though is a disaster , bunkers look like they havnt been touched or groomed in years . The green bunker has ground under repair with water lines exposed, rock hard dirt, grass over grown and seems like it’s been under repair for a year. Actually, every bunker was in over all bad shape.

Fairways.,
There are good lies in the fair way for majority but to get to them make sure you go get an alignment from your local chiropractor afterwards.
Driving the tue fairways you can expect giant holes in the ground, cracks , bumps and awful terrain.
Even the cart paths look like they are from a post apocalyptic time. There’s massive breaks and missing pieces. Your gear will definitely fly out of your cart several times throughout the round, so keep an eye out for that.
There is ZERO water on course, ZERO. I guess they don’t know we are in Texas.
The price… INSANE, I probably wouldn’t be writing this review if the price wasn’t so insane.
$60 for a sat round. This is definitely a $40 Weeknd round and $30 weekday.
I have no idea what they are doing with the high fees, cause they are definitely not putting back into the course.
I dont know, maybe they are. Other reviews say they are.

But like I said, if you consider yourself a decent golfer… don’t waste your time.

Very consistent course.

Course in great condition! Group in front was slow and didn’t let me play Thorogh even though there we’re three holes in front of them. The Marshall helped me out though and got me Thorogh. Greens have a good speed and are the same Thorogh the course

Someone needs to burn this course down and get it over with.

The tittle says it all.
Unless you’re a brand new golfer , don’t even waste your time thinking about playing here. I’m pretty sure they just use this place to launder money.

Course needs work and is being worked on.

I love this course usually. Unfortunately it’s in really bad shape right now , it’s never been this bad. It’s always in very food shape anytime I go , I’ve been about 20 times in the last 12 months. Great course but I’m staying away until they fix it.

Dear rwhitton9891, we completely understand your frustration with the course conditions. Its been a freak year of weather between the 100 year freeze, the recent course flooding, and now the returning drought conditions. Additionally, this is the time of the year where the course is transitioning from ryegrass to Bermuda, and due to the inconsistent weather this spring, the ryegrass has died off before the Bermuda has had a chance to grow in. Combine that with recent affects of aerification; we'll be the first to admit the course isn't in peak shape right now. Our greens however are recovering from aerification much faster than last year, which has us all very excited! We hope to see you out again before the summers over

Fun layout

For Blackhawk , the course was in pretty good shape. The greens were in good shape , a little too firm and fast for my liking though. Fairways are are super firm with tight lies . For the money though it’s a great deal , paid $24. Most people know BH isn’t what it used to be , but it’s still a fun round.
Also , the carts have seen better days lol.

One of my favorites In Austin.

I have nothing bad to say about this course. Everything , when I’m there at least is always in great condition and consistently well maintained. Pace of play on weekdays is always smooth.
Sometimes the staff is grumpy or acts annoyed. Other than that , the course is a great bang for your buck.

Don’t waste your money.

The fairways are comparable to a pasture.
More than half the greens are in poor condition, not sure what their doing with the “greens fees”.

Fun course , great price , awesome staff.

I just stated playing golf in July but have played over 20 different courses. Riverside is a great place for someone that plays a lot but doesn’t want to spend $50 every round. The course is always in good shape and for the money , can’t beat it.
The staff if always on their A game and very friendly. Great Group of guys in the pro shop and greens guys.
